BA7 - Plan for BA8

For BA8 (next terms project), i plan on doing an interactive Design Document for iPad where, along with text and images you can view animated slideshows of concept work with music, able to turn pages and us other interactive functions to reflect the game; the Design Document will be as interactive as the game idea would be if it were made.  I have been researching how i would go about this as well as interesting interactive documents to inspire me.  My favorite one is called WWF Together by AKQA, website found here.  AKQA is a marketing company that creates innovative and new interactive ways for businesses to reach out to the public.

If you are reading this and have an iPad, then go on and download WWF Together, its free!  There are different ways for the audience to interact with and move about the document.  Examples are that you can cut down trees by swiping your finger across the screen, 'clean' the screen by wiping the screen with your finger and swipe to move from left to right/up and down.  It has a clear theme, colour pallet and look to it - it shows origami and unfolding paper throughout its presentation, has a clean and modern look that is also in-keeping with the main colours of the WWF Logo = black and white.








This is meant for educational purposes, to get a message across.  Because of its simplistic and innovative design, many levels of interactivity and with it being imaged heavy instead of text heavy, it achieves to gain and maintain interest and visual attraction as well as educate the audience.  This is my primary influence for my final piece in BA8.  This is all well and good but the next problem arises; how on earth do i attempt to create something like that?! Well after doing some looking around, i think creating this in InDesign would be best.  I am no good at coding, as i could produce this in other software's such as Game Salad. So this may be the simplest and easiest way for me to create an interactive document as there are templates to use and can include music, animations and different interactive elements. If i create any animations, i will create them in Flash and possibly edit them in After Effects. I found some interesting tutorials to use and learn from for InDesign:
